Octavia Green Tourmaline Necklace
A minimalist touch to the gemstone, the necklace comes in three variations: garnet, moonstone and green tourmaline.
The modern name of tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese (Sri Lanka) words ‘tura mali’ meaning "unknown gemstones of mixed colors." Colored tourmaline crystals would be grouped together in ‘tura mali’ parcels in Sri Lanka and exported to Europe in the beginning of the 18th century. Tourmaline is believed to be the gem of sensitive poets and creative artists; it inspires creativity and was used extensively as a talisman by artists and writers from the Renaissance through the Victorian Age. In fact, Shakespeare even had a small collection of tourmaline jewelry to help him overcome writer's block.
